:00:25. > :00:26.A radical plan is being discussed which could allow our hospitals

:00:32. > :00:37.At the same time, the land could be used to build more homes.

:01:27. > :01:31.the money they get from selling off spare land.
:01:32. > :01:34.So instead of handing the money back to the Treasury
:01:35. > :01:36.as they do at the moment, hospitals will be able to use

:04:19. > :04:19.says he's surprised and saddened by the unpopularity of his new

:04:35. > :04:41.and pieces of what it is he said and creating the false narrative
:04:42. > :04:45.that isn't true. The president has made it clear,
:04:46. > :04:48.he has done nothing other than President Jimmy Carter did,
:04:49. > :04:52.by proposing a temporary ban against territories
:04:53. > :05:08.that are supporting The UK is not supporting or
:05:09. > :05:14.harbouring any terrorists that are out to do harm to you, or the United
:05:15. > :05:19.States of America, so obviously the Muslims in this country don't have
:05:20. > :05:24.anything to worry about. But Mr Trump didn't say that. He didn't
:05:25. > :05:28.say, except for the good guys. He said, I will consider banning
:05:29. > :05:32.Muslims from entering the United States, and there was no nuance in
:05:33. > :05:35.that. Isn't that the problem with Donald Trump? I agree that once
:05:36. > :05:38.again Donald Trump has made it very clear he is not the polished
:05:39. > :05:44.politician, he's learning. Donald Trump said something
:05:45. > :05:46.which upset many Londoners, he said there were many areas
:05:47. > :05:49.in London that were no-go areas, I have not seen those
:05:50. > :06:00.areas, but have only seen If you say it isn't true,
:06:01. > :06:18.being a Londoner, I would Do you believe that Donald Trump is
:06:19. > :06:21.just misunderstood? He's truly misunderstood and I don't have
:06:22. > :06:24.anything to gain by saying that. Like most people, only knowing
:06:25. > :06:36.Donald Trump through the lenses of the media, not his is -- not him as
:06:37. > :06:43.a person. Now the weather. Quite a tranquil view. Things are
:06:44. > :06:46.quite mild, as we started off the day it was a cold, frosty start but
:06:47. > :06:49.those temperatures have been rising through the day, and through the
:06:50. > :06:53.rest of this evening and overnight we are seeing a lot of cloud around.
:06:54. > :06:57.That cloud bringing drizzly outbreaks of rain, but for most of
:06:58. > :07:00.those it set to be frost free first thing on Saturday. Through the day
:07:01. > :07:04.on Saturday the morning showers should clear away and it will feel
:07:05. > :07:09.much milder compared to the bitterly cold weather we have seen recently.
:07:10. > :07:12.You are likely to wake up to great conditions with outbreaks of rain.

:07:18. > :07:21.chilly through into the early hours of Sunday. Perhaps a touch of frost
:07:22. > :07:24.first thing Sunday. Through the day we are likely to see things turning
:07:25. > :07:29.pretty wet. Eventually the weather front should push away during the
:07:30. > :07:30.course of Monday. I'll leave you with an outlook and pursue to my
:07:31. > :07:45.colleague. Good evening. Not many would argue
:07:46. > :07:49.that January hasn't been dry, but today, many of us had our first
:07:50. > :07:54.significant rain for some time, because the transition is on from
:07:55. > :07:59.cold, Continental dry air to milder Atlantic air, but the transition is
:08:00. > :08:01.a slow one. So we have had ice today, and freezing fog,
